I don't really like calling them a "two headed baby." It is two separate people who share body parts, not one body that happens to have an extra head. Hopefully they (children and mother) remain healthy for a long time to come.
Yeah but that has got to be hard.
Two seperate people sharing the same body parts.

Doesn't each individual control only their half of the body? At least where they are more divided, that is the case, but I wonder if in one like this, each brain can control both the legs and both the arms, I suppose it has to do with how the spinal cord is.
I think these people have more to worry about than dating, marriage and privacy. Probably the hardest thing is stares and inappropriate comments like menage a trois and other insensitive remarks. These are human beings with feelings and aspirations and functions which have to coordinate very closely with somebody else.
The community where these young women live have rallied and supported the whole family since day 1. I admire the entire family.

I am hoping that these conjoined twins can have a happy life. Being in a small village wih a supportive family might be an advantage to them. Outside gawkers will be minimized. We have to understand that it is their "normal." Since they will not be seperated, it will be all that they will ever know.
So im assuming because it wasnt done that they could not be seperated? Or the parents didnt want them to be?
From the link:
But following a number of tests, doctors have revealed that the baby has two brains and two spines but shares one heart, lungs, liver and pelvis.
The two-headed boy is, in reality, conjoined twins who share a single body. The condition is known as dicephalic parapagus - an extremely unusual form of conjoinment.
Because they share the same body, it is not possible to separate dicephalic parapagus twins.
